The mother's life is always more important. She is an actual person. The fetus is not. |
At what point does the fetus attain equal status as the mother? |
Actually, the Texas GOP is a bit more focused than that. They want to return to politics of the 1950's when only white males mattered and held power. White males preserving their pole position in the world. And they'll use any means to do so. They only use religion when it suits them. |

At birth. |
Assuming the mother is of age, when that fetus turns 18 years old. If the mother is a minor...I guess when the fetus is born? |
It's hard enough being a health practitioner these days. Imagine what it's like for OB and ER doctors in Texas! How can they possibly do their job under these circumstances? They are being asked to put aside their judgement, scientific training, and the Hippocratic oath they took (which presumably is sacred to most of them) due to political expediency. How many of us could work under these conditions? |
Not PP but to call people who are militantly anti-abortion but don’t care about the life of the pregnant mother or of any child once it is no longer an embryo or fetus is a disingenuous lie. |
At viability. As the Roe decision held. Why do you need this explained to you. |
As you can see from the above responses, there is no conclusive answer. Why do you not want people to ask questions? Scared of the answers? |
I read these things and feel the hate of a 1000 hot fiery sons.... |
When the fetus turns 18 years of age? What the hell? |
Hot fiery sons?? |
This. If a single drop of blood from your dad could save your life, say give you stem cells to fight leukemia or something - no one would DREAM of forcing a male, not even your own parent, to save your life. No matter what age you are. Even if you are still in utero, can you even imagine a court order requiring, for example, your own father to donate blood necessary to save your existence? It would never happen. Because the law protects men, then corpses, then fetuses, then women. |
LOL well I am a baby murderer right? |
